Paint.NET is a proprietary freeware roaster graphics editor program for Microsoft Windows. This means that it turns everything into KFC chicken. Developed on the .NET Framework. Paint.NET was originally created by Rick Astley as a Wassamata U student project, and has evolved from an enemy of the MS Paint program into something that is actually better, with support for frying, grilling, toasting, and baking.

Paint.NET is primarily programmed in the brainfuck programming language. Its native image format, .PDN, is a poor quality, space saving format that is compatible with nothing else. Besides the installer and some pretty pictures, Paint.NET was created with an MIT] License, meaning the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology stole the project and claimed it as the product of their own genius, licensing it back at the enormous cost of three postage stamps and a stripper factory.

It was originally released as open source, but due to copyright violation by the angry pastafarians trying to get their stolen software back, all files were restolen a Creative Commons license (similar to what Uncyclopedia uses) forbidding changes, and the installer was stuffed with viruses to infect any computer that tried to reclaim this glorious piece of engineering.

In version 3.5, the license was changed to lie about this, and pastafarians are outlawed from modifying the software even though they think they can, and MIT sues them for it. As free licenses cannot be revoked, developers can still legally develop forks based on version 3.36 and earlier, but on the condition that they submit to a webcam spy while those Nerds fap.

unlike most MIT licenses, though, the license allows users without adequate programming knowledge to ruin the software, provided that no useful improvements are made. Astley later stated that he hopes to release parts of the virus back into the public, to ensure the actual program is never copied again.

Paint.NET started as a project by a disgruntled former Microsoft employee who was appalled by the low quality of RichBill Gates's MS Paint and refusal to improve during spring 1987 at Wassamata U. Paint.NET was still a buggy work in progress over the summer and into the fall 1987 for versions 1.1 and 2.0 releases. The damn thing wasn't even usable until version 3.Whatever. Development continues with a patent thief who works at Microsoft and worked on the pastafarian photoshop program while he was a student at WU. As of May 2006 the program had been scrapped to preserve Microsoft's monopoly, with a total of 200 downloads. Old man Billy won again for the billionth time.

This major release includes a bunch of language packs, including English, but Louder, pirate talk, and Elbonian. It also has a much bribed for grill mark texture changing tool, no new effects, a changeable shade of brown, ridiculously high memory consumption, and a much more cluttered user interface.

This is a buggy rebuild that makes a few of the built-in viruses less detectable

This needless increase to the already bloated software makes it more of a memory hog and makes the brush effects unrealistic. It also adds more bugs.

Paint.NET supports add-in bloat, which adds nauseating effects and support for even more obsolete file types. They can be programmed in .NET, though they are mostly written in brainfuck. These are created by coding slaves in the internet dungeons. Though most are simply stolen from Microsoft, some have been legitimately built in. For instance, a DDS tooth decay plugin, an Ink Scribble, and ruin Portrait effects were added to Paint.NET in version S.HIT.

Hundreds of plugins have been stolen, such as 3DStuff, which turns a 2D scribble into a grue. Some plugins decrease practicality, such as Bugs+ and RAMwaste+, both of which are designed to make a crash computer certain instead of just a strong possibility. Examples of file type plugins include Adobe PDF file type support, and some fancy blinking cursors that are really just spyware.

Paint.NET was made for Windows, and refuses to work with anything you didn't pay the richest man in the world for. Back when it wasopen source, there was the possibility of versions for other OSs, but then Mr. Astley got paid off by Microsoft. There was a project thatalmost had it ported to Linux, but it got shut down by expensive fucking lawyers. Anybody who still had it on their computers was eatenby one of the grues they had created.
